Maybe the “movement” is just attracting insufferable people, who also find themselves insufferable.
Good. The rest of us hate them already so it’s nice to have some common ground.
this + the fact that lara trump is firing people in the rnc and devoting all funds to trump only should spell disaster for downballot races.
“I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.”
Looks like the guys who like to have the existence of “the line” just found the essential flaw in that system: There’s no way to tell when you suddenly might find yourself on the wrong side of it.
How much you want to bet that a lot of that money is going to end up being used to pay trumps legal fees, fines and settlements?
They’re likely going along with it on the basis that they no longer care about downballot races, or even the main race, intending instead for Trump to seize power & install loyalists by force.
I don’t see their plan working, but there’ll still be considerable chaos & violence during the attempt.
I hope the Trump bubble collaspes before the election and causes such a spectacular shitshow that the republican party ceases to exist.
If that’s what you expect, you’re underestimating the depth of the societal problems that Trump is a symptom of. Trump bubble may or may not collapse, but the US has a lot of demons to deal with.
Weirdly apropos quote with a fairly frightening resonance to today:
“Well… maybe so. This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it—that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. The tragedy of all this is that George McGovern, for all his mistakes and all his imprecise talk about “new politics” and “honesty in government,” is one of the few men who’ve run for President of the United States in this century who really understands what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard Nixon. McGovern made some stupid mistakes, but in context they seem almost frivolous compared to the things Richard Nixon does every day of his life, on purpose, as a matter of policy and a perfect expression of everything he stands for. Jesus! Where will it end?”

Hopefully the American people – those are still somehow on the fence – see this and determine that this isn’t the right thing for themselves or the country.
At this point, it’s not about loving Biden or liking Democrats. It’s just about making sure we have adults in the room managing and keeping an eye on things.
I hate them too… please note
I hated them before MAGA even came along.
